Shania Twan has split from her husband, famous rock producer Robert “Mutt” Lange. The couple have a 6-year old son, Eja, and have made their home in New Zealand. Lange is best known for producing some of the most semilnal records in history, such as AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, The Boomtown Rat’s Rat Trap, in addition to several albums by Def Leopard and Ryan Adams.

Lange and Twain, best known for her hits “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” and “You’re Still the One,” recently opened a hiking trail on their property in New Zealand, fulfilling a pact designed to allay fears that wealthy foreigners were snapping up and sealing off the country’s prime real estate.

Lange produced three of Twain’s albums: 1995’s “The Woman in Me,” 1997’s “Come on Over” and 2002’s “Up!” [Yahoo!]
